SONGS  OF  ZION 


HYMN  1. 

Seven  in  one  or  one  in  seven. 

Zach.  6;  5,  Rev.  G;  2,15—  1;  6. 

1  Open  your  gates  ye  sons  of  men, 
Your  waiting  minds  prepare, 

Of  seven  fold  wonders  lo  we  sing, 
And  all  their  truth  declare. 

2  What  in  perfection  glory  shine?, 
Is  in  itself  complete; 

Behold  in  Revelation  then, 
So  many  sevens  meet. 

3  By  seven  Churches  and  their  stars, 
In  vision  long  foreseen; 

Are  all  beneath  one  worshipped  name, 
And  Christian  surely  mean. 

4  The  seven  horns,  the  seven  eyes, 
The  seven  lamps  of  fire ; 

A  seven  sealed  book  they  all  unseal, 
But  still  one  perfect  power. 


o     Then  let  the  seven  angels  sound, 
The  seven  vials  pour; 
In  endless  Revelation  down. 
And  set  the  world  on  fire 


6 


Go  forth  ye  horses  through  the  earth, 
Ye  spirits  of  the  heavens; 
Sound  on  ye  deathless  angels,  sound, 
And  perfect  earth  in  sevens. 


HYMN  2. 
Paradise  Tree. 
Job  14;  7,  Psa.  1 ;  S.Ezek.  4;  7,12,  Rev 

OO.  Q 

1     In  the  land  of  the  east, 
There  once  stood  a  tree; 
It  flourished  a  while, 
Called  the  Paradise  tree; 
For  the  nations  unborn, 
It  was  planted  we  see; 
A  Saviour  in  the  garden, 
Was  this  Paradise  tree. 

2     Fair  stood  in  God's  imao-e. 
Like  you  and  like  me; 


While  a  Trinity  grew, 
In  this  Paradise  tree; 
Soul,  body,  and  spirit, 
In  yourself  you  may  see; 
Why  grow  not  then  pure. 
As  this  Paradise  tree. 

3  Dp  you  ask  if  then  pure, 
What's  become  of  that  tree; 
It  now  grows  in  the  west, 
The  same  Paradise  tree; 

It  now  grows  all  afresh, 
From  the  stump  of  that  tree; 
That  was  left  in  the  earth, 
It's  the  Paradise  tree. 

4  The  second  child  lives, 
Where  the  first  now  should  be, 
Yet  the  first  now  he  lives, 

In  this  Paradise  tree; 
A  new  fair  creation, 
Has  begun  you  shall  see, 
The  nations  shall  be  healed, 
By  this  Paradise  tree. 

5  Pray  tell  me  the  days, 
Or  the  years  of  this  tree; 


When  the  sun  shall  not  shine, 
Dies  this  Paradise  tree; 
Then  it  lives  and  it  grows, 
Through  bright  eternity; 
For  thus  will  shine  the  sun, 
And  this  Paradise  tree. 

A  flaming  sword  guards, 
And  flames  round  the  tree; 
It's  the  word  of  the  Lord, 
Both  to  you  and  to  me; 
For  Jordon's  now  spoiled, 
From  sin  we  are  free; 
Hallelujah  we'll  sing, 
And  we'll  shout  victory. 


HYMN  3. 
Divine  order  of  the  seals,  trumpets  &  vials. 

Rev.  6;  1,-8;2,6»15;  1-16;  17~10;2,7 
1     The  Lamb  has  loosed  the  seven  seals. 
In  songs  the  trumpets  sound, 
Fo  lo!  the  seven  angels  pour 
The  seven  vials  down. 


2  The  first  and  darkest  seal  is  broke. 
We  now  proclaim  abroad; 

That  visioned  book  of  seven  seals. 
Is  God's  own  holy  word. 

3  Long  has  mankind  that  book  beheld, 
Its  wonders  to  unroll; 

But  none's  been  able,  or  prevailed, 
It's  mysteries  to  unfold. 

4  Not  one  of  all  the  trumpets  sound, 
Nor  vials  e'er  was  poured; 

Until   the  seals  themselves  are  loosed, 
Through  all  the  holy  word. 

5     Knowledge  in  heavenly  wisdoms  ways 
The  seals  and  trumpets  seen; 
By  Revelations   to  the  world, 
The  foretold  vials  mean. 

6  People  and  nations,  tongues  and  kings, 
The  earth  that's  called  to  hear; 

The  broad  deep  waters  of  the  word, 
vShall  now  the  sea  appear. 

7  The  seventh  angel,  lo  he  stands, 
Upon  this  earth  and  sea ; 


8 


By  all  therein  proclaims  aloud, 
That  time  no  more  shall  be. 

2     The  covenant  bow  his  head  adorns, 
Let  all  the  earth  give  ear; 
Lo  in  the  Scripture  cloud  is  set, 
And  brings  the  Jubilee  year. 

9     What  systems,  forms,  or  spurious  faith, 
As  rivers  turn  to  blood; 
Beneath  the  vials  of  his  wrath, 
The  vials  of  their  Lord. 

10  The  Son  of  man  is  now  revealed, 
Who  on  the  world  shall  rise; 
Thus  are  the  vials  poured  abroad, 
Of  wonder  and  surprise.* 

1 1  To  dust  all  sons  of  men  return, 
Like  Moses  in  his  day; 

Christ's  body  the  true  Church  is  found, 
He  never  went  away. 

12  By  clouds  of  scripture  did  arise, 
Through  faith  ascended  high; 

In  Gospel  Heavens  behold  he's  reigned, 
To  this  the  perfect  day. 


13  So  shall  the  pit  be  opened  wide, 
From  Heaven  the  Dragon  fall ; 

That  veil  of  flesh  let  all  pass  through, 
And  God  be  all  in  all . 

14  Thus  vial  sixth  Euphrates  dries, 
The  seventh's  in  the  air; 

Tis  done,  the  seventh  angel  cries, 
And  lo  an  earthquake's  here. 
*Rev.  17:  8—13;  11. 


HYMN  4. 
What  I've  seen. 

Explanation.— All  things  of  a  divine  na- 
ture are    only  seen   by  the  eyes   ol  the 
understanding.     No  spiritual  or  invisible 
things  ever  were  or  ever  will  be  seen  in 
anv  other  way.     What  the  man-child  ot 
Rev.  12;  5,    has   comprehended  and  ex 
perimentally    seen  in   the    above   sense, 
there  being  no  other  invisible  world   but 
the  moral  world  itself. 
1     I  have  seen  the  highest  heaven, 
I've  seen  the  deepest  hell, 
I  know  the  world  of  spirits  too. 
Where  God  and  angels  dwell; 


10 

I've  seen  the  whole  creation, 
All  travelling  in  pain, 
I've  seen  its  stars  of  heaven, 
And  know  them  all  by  name. 

I     I've  seen  the  ancient  Teman, 
Mount  Paron  I  have  seen, 
I've  seen  those  scripture  mountains, 
And  well  know  what  they  mean, 
I've  seen  the  sun  in  darkness, 
The  moon  I've  seen  in  blood, 
I've  seen  the  new  Jerusalem, 
Whose  light  thereof  is  God. 

3  I've  seen  that  sea  of  glass, 
The  mount  Zion  I  have  seen, 
I've  seen  the  throne  of  heaven, 
And  well  know  what  they  mean; 
I've  seen  the  great  Behemoth, 
Leviathan  I've  seen, 

I've  seen  those  beastly  Kingdoms, 
And  know  just  what  they  mean. 

4  I've  seen  the  very  waters, 
On  which  the  earth  was  hung, 
I've  seen  its  secret  springs  indeed, 
Which  never  vet  were  sunn: 


11 

I've  seen  the  hosts  of  Michael, 
And  the  dragon  too  I've  seen, 
I've  seen  them  war  in  heaven, 
And  well  know  what  both  mean. 

I've  seen  the  fiery  billows, 
The  day  of  dooms  I've  seen, 
I've  seen  the  book  of  life  indeed, 
And  know  what  it  doth  mean; 
I've  seen  that  outer  darkness. 
That  awful  lake  of  fire, 
The  devil  and  his  angels, 
I've  seen  ihem  burning  there. 

I've  seen  the  new  creation, 
The  judgment  day  I've  seen, 
And  even  the  stone  kingdom, 
And  well  know  what  all  mean; 
I've  seen  the  end  of  time, 
And  eternity  I've, seen, 
For  lo,  I've  seen  the  moral  world, 
And  what  the  scriptures  mean.

HYMN,  5. 
Covering  Cherub. 
Ezk.  28;  14,  16. 

1  Ye  stars,  ye  Ministers  give  ear, 
Our  message  from  the  God  of  light, 
Myjteries  of  old  shall  now  appear, 
Which  turn  your  gospel   day  to  night. 

2  Know  all  ye  ministerial  kings, 

This  is  the  righteous  judgment  hour; 
From  zion's  hill  proceed  our  songs, 
Revealed  hy  inspiration  power. 

3  Know  then  ye  reigning  stars  on  high, 
Your  dispensation  now  is  done, 

For  lo!  the  scripture  clouds  arise, 
And  cover  now  your  moral  sun. 

4  I'ts  God's  own  house  ye  have  denied, 
With  your  own  doctrine  merchandise; 
The  day  has  come  your  fruitful  field, 
Both  saints  and  prophets  shall  dispise. 

5  The  nation's  veil  the  truth  shall  rend, 
And  bring  your  covering   cherub  down; 

From  God's  own  mount  where  he  hasreignd 
Through  gospel  mystery  all  profound. 


13 


6  But  lo!  that  mystery  now  is  done, 
The  covering  cherub  we'll  reveal; 

For  he's  been  worship'd  preach'd  and  sung 
By  all  throughout  the  christian  world. 

7  That  he  might  be  a  covering  made, 
All  names  divine  to  him's  been  given; 
With  precious  stones  thus  covered, 
High  seated  in  the  mount  of  God. 

«S     In  Eden,  yea  the  moral  heaven, 
He  walked  amid  the  stones  of  fire; 
Perfect  in  beauty  he's  been  made, 
And  preached  men's  covering  every  where! 

9  This  covering  cherubim  the  mount, 
Is  but  the  gentile  image  high; 
While  thus  revealed,  he  is  cast  out, 
And  lo  the  pride  of  all  shall  die. 

10  In  God  that  mountain  in  the  mind, 
Dwelt  sure  the  covering  cherubim; 
For  Christ,  who  is  that  covering, 
In  saints  doth  intercede,  we  find. 


14 


Part   2dof  1^0.  S. 

1 1  In  man's  own  mind  the  moral  world, 
God's  kingdom  only  can  be  found; 
For  God  and  Christ  and  kingdom  too, 
All  dwell  within  the  bible  sound. 

12  The  holy  witnesses  ascend, 

High  up  to  heaven,  the  heaven  of  God ; 
Then  heaven  is  in  the  human  mind, 
For  sure  they  are  God's  holy  word. 

13  In  God's  own  kingdom  now  in  men, 
Does  sin  and  guilt  and  shame  abound! 

They  blaspheme  God,  who  say  the  same, 
Why  then  have  men  a  covering  found? 

14  All  who  put  on  Christ  as  a  mind, 
Have  all  the  covering  God  has  made; 
Nor  Hesh  nor  blood  was  e'er  designed 
But  wisdom  and  the  power  of  God. 

15  Say  not  within  your  heart,  it's  said, 
Who  shall  ascend  indeed  on  high; 
Nor  shall  you  say  who  shall   descend, 
Forlo!  God  and  his  word  are  nigh. 

16  The  sum  of  all  come  hear  it  then, 

Is  God  in  Christ  and  Christ  in  men; 


15 


In  this  true  light  all  things    are    seen, 
Which  God's  own  word  to  men  doth  mean, 


HYMN  6. 

Vial  on  the  sea. 

Rev.  16;  3. 

1  How  deep  and  broad  the  sea, 
Of  God's  own  word  appears; 
While  dispensations  are  its  days, 
Eternal  are  its  years. 

2  The  moral  earth  and  heaven, 
Upon  this  sea  were  hung; 

But  lo!  they  all  shall  pass  away, 
And  the  stone  kingdom  come. 

3  The  scriptures  are  the  sea, 
Enclosed  with  bars  and  doors; 
Those  are  its  seals,  dark  sentences, 
Which  hath  the  book  long  closed. 

4  The  scriptures  are  the  sea, 

Whence  antichrist  arose; 

His  heads  and  horns,  and  mysteries  too, 

The  witnesses   proud  foes. 


16 

5  The  scriptures  are  the  sea, 
On  which  the  angel  swears; 
That  time  as  joined  with  mystery, 
Are  ended  to  those  powers. 

6  Now  since  we  know  the  sea, 
We  may  divine  the  hand: 

The  hand  of  David  set  therein, 
Means  Christ  the  son  of  man. 

7  The  dragon  in  the  sea, 
Shall  surely  now  be  slain; 

By  Michael's  two  edged  sword  indeed. 
While  truth  divine,  his  chain. 

8  The  waters  of  the  sea, 

Which  on  the  earth  should  pour; 
Are  the  deep  doctrines  of  the  word, 
Whose  waves  thereof  should  roar. 

9  This  sea  gives  up  its  dead, 
Its  mysteries  dark  disclose; 
In  parts  divided,  lo!  it  stands, 
As  blood  to  all  its  foes. 

10  This  vial  on  the  seas, 

Is  judgment  on  the  word; 


17 

While  mysteries,  doctrines  in  the  land. 
As  rivers  turn  to  blood. 

1 1   But  to  the  sea  of  glass. 
Appears  within  our  view; 
This  doctrine  shall  forever  stand, 
To  all  it  shall  prove  true. 


HYMN  7. 
The  Vial  on  the  Rivers. 
Rev.   16;  4,5. 
1     Let  all  the  learned,  great  and  wise, 
Who  do  the  law  as  scripture  prize; 
Present  their  systems,  creeds  and  forms, 
The  Gentile  world  have  heard  and  learned, 

2  Let  none  called  christians  now  decline, 
But  did  our  vast  survey  of  mind; 
Bring  all  the  knowledge  in  your  world, 
Written,  or  preached,  or  sung,  or  told, 

3  Let  every  power  now,  great  or  small, 
The  Greek,  the  protestant  and  all; 
Survey  their  doctrines  to  the  heart, 
And  point  them  out  in  every  part, 


18 

4  Let  every  subdivision  band, 

Who  have  compassed  our  gospel  land; 
As  sects  respectively  make  known, 
All  they  believe,  have  heard  or  shown. 

5  Let  no  restriction  now  be  made, 

Of  doctrines  taught  from  heart  or  head, 
What  ere's  been  gathered  from  the  word 
Present  the  whole  amount  to  God. 

6  How  vast  the  numbers  of  those  forms, 
And  customs  of  all  creature  worms; 
But  who  can  all  their  doctrines  scan. 
So  numerous,  complex,  winding  run? 

7  From  Heavens  own  record  and  profound, 

The  names  of  all  shall  wisdom  sound; 
Those  are  rivers,  fountains,  pools, 
Which  turn  to  blood,  Oh !  world  of  souls. 

7     The  names  of  all  we  now  have  given, 
Throughout  the  earth  and  under  heaven ; 
While  heaven's  own  vials  on  them  pour, 
Those  doctrines,  men  shall  drink  no  more.

HYMN  8. 

Correspo  nueucy. 

Is  a.  65;  17.     Rev.  21;  1. 

1      The  sun  in  brightness  pours  his  rays, 
The  silver  moon  her  light  displays; 
While  stars  in  all  their  circling  spheres, 
Shine  in  their  own  eternal  years. 

*2     While  earth  on  her  own  axis  turns, 
And  all  those  planets  round  her  burn; 

Brings  seasons,  years  and  centuries  brings, 
All  in  eternal  glory  sings. 

.3     While  generations  do  behold, 

The  heavens,  and  earth  and  planets  roll; 
Wisdom  transforms  the  world  of  mind, 
And  calls  them  heaven  and  earth  divine, 

4  High  in  her  firmament  of  power, 

She  made  her  lights  and  placed  them  there  ; 
God  is  her  sun,  the  church  her  moon, 
Her  stars  as  teachers  long  have  shone, 

5  Her  clouds  of  heaven  the  earth  has  seen, 

All  scripture  doctrines  surely  mean; 
For  judgment  and  for  mercy  given, 
Wisdom  by  these  rules  earth  and  heaven.

HYMN  9. 

Heaven  and  Hell. 

Isa.  28;   17,18. 
Pray  tell  me,  Oh  my  genius. 
Of  heaven  and  of  hell; 
Or  be  they  fabled  regions, 
Where  Paginations  dwell; 
The  Bible  and  the  Koran, 
Have  taught  the  same  to  all; 
While  Pagan  faith  proclaims  them, 
To  mortals  on  this  ball. 

By  priests  both  jew  and  christian, 
Has  heaven  and  hell  been  sung; 
And  through  those  dispensations, 
Preached  in  a  world  to  come; 
And  while  through  faith  of  heaven, 
In  hope  were  millions  there; 
Through  faith  has  hell  in  vision, 
Sunk  myriads  in  dispair. 

Beneath  the  veil  of  darkness, 
Those  laboring  worlds  of  mind; 
Hath  travelled  o'er  the  universe, 
Their  good  or  ill  to  find; 
While  faith  in  substance  power, 


21 

Has  made  both  heaven  and  hell; 
In  man  unto  this  hour, 
As  good  and  evil  dwell. 

t     Break  off  those  chains  of  darkness, 

All  things  divine  are  here; 
Those  mysteries  borne  as  former  yokes, 

Shall  henceforth  disappear; 

Old  moral  death  and  hell  shall  yield, 

And  feel  the  lake  of  fire; 

On  zion's  hill  are  all  the  sealed, 

And  lo  they  both  are  here. 

>    That  glorious  kingdom  promised, 

Called  earth  and  heaven  new; 

Unto  the  people  of  the  saints, 

For  you  'tis  brought  to  view; 

The  moral  world  invisible, 

All  heights  and  depths  contain; 

Eternal  life   and  death  are  here, 

And  here  they  shall  remain.

HYMN.  10 
Divine:  Wisdom, 

Prov.  8;  23,  31. 

1  Wisdom  descends  our  song  to  raise, 
And  brings  true  heaven  in  her  lays; 
No  guilt,  no  pride,  no  sorrow  brings, 
But  peace  and  glory  now  she  sings, 
For  this  is  Eden  sure  to  find, 

The  heaven  of  rest  within  the  mind, 

2  Wisdom  delighted  once  to  dwell, 
In  ancient  seers  their  souls  to  fill; 
In  me  stte  reigns  as  she  did  then, 
Her  delights  are  with  the  sons  of  men ; 
For  lo!  the  day  has  now  come  in, 

Sin,  death,  and  hell  have  lost  their  sting, 

S     Wisdom  the  moral  world  doth  view, 
She  gave  the  law  and  gospel  too; 
When  she  but  her  blest  powers  unfolds, 
All  times  and  seasons  she  controls; 
Behold  her  beams,  where  e'er  they  shine, 
Destroys  all  darkness  from  the    mind, 

4     Wisdom  is  like  the  flames  of  fires 
Consumes  all  chaff,  all  truth  inspires; 
Who  e'er  her  brightest  powers  attend, 


*3 

All  scripture  truth,  can    comprehend; 
Earth's  glory,  this  for  men  to  prize, 
And  know  her  costly  merchandize. 
5     Wisdom  crcateth  all  things  new, 
All  things  divine  she  brings  to  view; 
The  heigths  of  heaven,  the  depths  of  hell, 
Within  her  understanding  dwell; 
For  those  she  past  in  dread  career, 
To  crown  her  day,  the  jubilee  year. 

6     Wisdom  of  old  as  now  designed, 

Shall  reign  o'er  all  the  world  of  mind} 
Mystery  and  time  alike  are  vain, 
While  wisdom  thus  descends  to  reign^ 
For  lo!  to  all  she'll  thus  appear; 
And  loud  proclaim  sabatic  year. 

7     Wisdom  hath  one  eternal  day, 
By  inspiration  hath  her  way; 
Her  six  days  of  creation  were, 
Time,  dispensation  she'll  declare; 
And  lo!  the  seventh  day's  begun, 

For  God's  own  rest,  and  heaven  are  one. 

8     Wisdom  dwells  in  eternal  years, 
Makes  free  the  world  from  slavish  fears 
"Break?  the  dark  chains',  of  ages    laid, 

B3 


24 

And  bids  her  ransomed  sons  be    glad; 
For  wisdom's  light,  and  God's  the  same, 
All  generations  shall  proclaim. 


HYMN  1 1 

The  Stars  and  Candlesticks. 

Rev.  1;  12,  16. 

1  From  Patmos  isle  we  now  proclaim, 
The  vision  that  was  sealed; 

To  all  the  stars  and  candlesticks, 
The  promises  revealed. 

2  Come  listening  Greek,  come  hear  the  news, 

And  Alysynian  too; 

The  church  that's  called  Vestarian, 

These  songs  they  are  for  you. 

3  While  the  ancient  church  of  Armenia  hears, 

And  Assyrians  learn  our  song; 
The  Catholic  and  Protestant, 
Shall  join  the  numerous  throng. 

4  Be  not  surprised  ye  listening  hosts, 
While  trumpet  voice  proclaims; 
Those  candlesticksjbreseen, 

Are  those  with  all  their  names. 


S>  Those  seven  women, mountains  ^streams 

Foreseen  in  ancient  days; 
Take  hold  on  one    whose  name  they  bear, 

But  walk  in  their  own  ways. 

6  Long  have  those  candlesticks  retained, 

Their  shining  stars  around; 
While  all  those  churches,  and  those  stars,. 
Are  all  on  earth  now  found. 

7  Would  ministers  and  churches  claim, 

The  promises  there  made; 

And  yet  deny  they  are  the  stars, 

Or  candlesticks  indeed? 

8  Are  not  the  stars  in  his  right  hand. 
Of  whom  the  vision  told; 

The  son  of  man  like  one  appears, 
Mid  candlesticks  of  gold. 

9  Now  to  those  numbers  who  compose, 

Those  candlesticks  foretold; 
And  all  their  stars  and  people  too, 
O'er  whom  they  have  control. 

10  What  e'er  in  vision  once  was  seen, 

To  you  is  now  applied ; 
B4 


26 

No  other  nation,  tongue,  or  name, 
But  christian  is  designed. 

11  Within  the  volume  of  God'3  book, 
No  promises  are  made; 

But  to  the  living  on  the  earth, 
And  no  where  to  the  dead. 

12  Now  is  the  day  the  vision  speaks, 
Those  promises  make  known; 

To  him  that  overcomes,  they're  made, 
And  unto  him  alone. 


HYMN   12. 
The  day  of  Zion. 
Psa.  10;  2,  13. 
Arise  and  favor  zion, 
The  day  it  now  has  come; 
Forlo!  the  six  are  ended, 
The  seventh  has  begun; 
It  is  the  day  of  rest, 
From  sorrow,  fear  and  sin; 
When  zion  shall  arise, 
And  her  glory  dwell  within, 


27 

It  is  the  day  in  vision, 
By  prophets  long  foretold; 
When  won    should  be  builded, 
As  in  the  days  of  old; 
When  lo!  "ii  the  mount  zion, 
A  company  should  stand; 
In  a  new  earth  and  heaven, 
Appear  within  our  land. 

The  day  to  favor  zion, 
Is  when  the  power  shall  fall; 
It's  when  the  books  are  opened, 
And  God  is  all  in  all, 
When  all  things  are  created, 
Both  new  and  all  divine; 
It's  now  you  know  that  zion, 
Forever  more  shall  shine. 

Her  stones  are  laid  with  sapphires, 
Her  gates  they  shall  be  praise ; 
Her    walls,  they  are  salvation, 
The  days  of  heaven,  her  days; 
All  those  who  do  but  favor  her, 
By  her  own  powers  shall  reign; 

Wliile  all  who  do  dejpiseher, 

In  darkness  shall  remain 


28 

5     This  favored  day  of  zion, 
The  scripture  clouds  appear; 
A  covenant  all  neiv, 
Shall  bring  in  the  jubilee  year; 
While  righteousness  descends, 
As  the  rain  that  waters  all; 
You  now  may  know  the  kingdom, 
Has  come  to  every  soul. 

5     Then  let  the  seventh  trumpet, 
Aloud  proclaim  the  call; 
For  zion  shall  be  favored, 
Her  sun  shall  rise  on  all; 
And  as  mount  zion  rises, 
Great  Babylon  shall  fall; 
Come  out  of  her  my  people, 
Both  saints  and  prophets  all. 


HYMN  13. 
The  Everlasting  Gospel. 
Rev.  14;  6. 
The  everlasting  gospel, 
Was  never  yet  proclaimed; 
The  gospel  of    repentance, 
Was  not  that  gospel  named; 


39 

As  a  witness  to  all  nations, 
It  ha9  now  gone  before; 
But  the  end  of  it  bus  come, 
And  it  shall  be  heard  no  more. 

2  The  reconciling  gospel, 

Says  judgment  yet  shall  come; 
The  everlasting  gospel, 
Proclaims  the  hour's  begun: 
Believe  and  be  converted, 
The  first  required  of  all; 
The  last  st\ys  give  God  glory, 
Who  worship  on  this  ball. 

3  The  gospel  of  that  kingdom, 
Cried  mystery  long  begun; 
The  everlasting  gospel, 
Aloud  proclaims  'tis  done; 

And  saith  the  books  are  opened. 
No  mystery  now  restrains; 
The  truth  of  God  has  come, 
And  eternally  remains. 

4  'Twas  when  the  law  was  ended 
The  christian  gospel  came; 
The  everlasting  gospel, 

Shall  follow  this  the  same; 


so 

By  the  first,  the  Jewish  doctrines, 
That  earth    was  overthrown; 
The  last  shakes  earth  and  heaven, 
By  Revelation  shown, 

5  The  last  makes  the  stone  kingdom, 
The  first  was  ne'er  the  same; 
But  the  fourth  kingdom  of  Daniel, 
Let  all  aloud  proclaim; 
Through  a  long  sealed  mystery, 
That  kingdom  now  has  reigned; 
The  everlasting  gospel, 

Shall  sure  destroy  the  same. 

6  The  gospel  everlasting, 
Reveals  great  Babylon; 
The  earth  and  heaven  new, 
And  the  New  Jerusalem; 

It  enlightens  all  the  nations, 
Who  have  the  scriptures  seen; 
Divines  their  brightest  glory, 
And  makes  their  meaning  plain. 

7     The  blessed  tree  of  life, 
Which  shall  all  nations  heal; 
The  gates  of  the  new  city, 
Most  truly  shall  reveal; 


31 

Everlasting,  now  our  gospel 
The  wise  may  now  proclaim; 
For  truth  which  is  divine, 
Is  eternally  the  same. 

The  message  that  we  bring, 
Is  the  sea  of  glass  with  fire; 
And  never  can  be  shaken, 
But  to  glory  rises  higher; 
As  fuel,  chaff,  and  stubble, 
All  works  of  men  destroy; 
But  those  of  inspiration, 
Which  are  without  alloy. 

These  doctrines  are  our  angels, 
With  Michael  they  do  stand; 
In  heaven,  with  the  dragon, 
We  war  with  sword  in  hand; 
So  mighty  is  our  army, 
That  we  the.  war  begin; 
And  surely  we  shall  conquer, 
All  foes  of  God  and  man.

HYMN,  14. 

The  seventh  Seal  opened* 

Rev.  8;  1—20;  11—21;  1— Gen.  2;  4. 

1  Behold,  ye  sons  of  men  behold, 
A  great  white  throne  appears; 

On  doctrines  burning  wheels  of  fire, 
The  judgment  day  is  here. 

2  Now  let  the  rushing  moral  heaven, 
A  thoughtful  silence  keep; 

For  lo!  the  seventh  seal  is  broke, 
And  thus  its  contents  speak 

3  Within  the  volume  of  GocVs  lookf 
No  mention  there  appears; 

Of  planets  being  made  on  days, 
Or  ending  in  their  years. 

4  There's  dispensation  days  we  find, 
And  generations  made; 

Called  heavens  and  earth  to  be  dissolved, 
And  new  ones  are  portrayed. 

5  Within  the  book  of  seven  seals, 
No  place,  no  place  is  found; 
For  planetary  heavens  there, 
O.-  earth  do  they  surround. 


S3 

6  By  all  the  cacred  powers  of  heaven, 
We  solemnly  declare; 

What  e'er  the  word  of  God  contains. 
We  find  no  planets  there. 

7  The  six  days  of  creation  arc, 
Time  dispensations  found ; 

To  all  the  christian  earth  and  heaven, 
This  revelation  sound 

8  Behold  this  weighty  vial  now, 
Which  all  things  doth  unfold; 

For  sure  the  vials,  trumps  and  seals. 
Shall  heaven  and  earth  controll. 

9  So  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away, 
Which  on  those  days  were  made; 
For  generations,  lo,  they  are, 

And  not  of  planets  said. 

10  Sound  on,  sound  on  the  seventh  trump, 
Behold  God's  days  appear; 

For  lo  they  are  as  but  it  were, 
Each  one  a  thousand  years. 

1 1  The  heavens  and  earth  upon  them  made, 

As  old  worlds  pa#i  away; 


34 

Was  not  of  nature's  planets  said, 
But  doctrines  in  their  day. 

12  The  antichristian  earth  and  heaven, 
Shall  pass  now  they  are  done ; 

As  did  the  Jewish  world  indeed, 
When  christian  was  begun. 

13  It's  thus  the  seventh  angel  pours, 
His  vial  in  the  air; 

And  lo,  the  scripture  city  now. 
In  three  parts  does  appear. 

14  While  nature's  course  is  still  the  same, 
All  things  are  new  become; 

God's  word  thus  opened  in  its  light, 
Brings  new  Jerusalem. 

15  The  long  predicted  world  to  come, 
This  earth  and  heaven  new; 

Is  the  stone  kingdom  now  revealed. 
It's  done,  and  lo.  'tis  true.

HYMN   15. 
The  woman  in  Ileareu. 
Rev.  12;  10. 

1  The  virgin  bride  of  heaven  appears, 
She  is  the  faith  of  ancient  seers; 
How  great  this  wonder  to  behold, 

She  reigns  in  heaven,  as  long  foretold, 

2  The  church  triumphant  is  her  name, 
The  new  Jerusalem's  the  same; 

And  while  the  scripture,  books    unfold, 
Lo  she  appears  as  saints  of  old. 

3  She's  clothed  with  the  sun  divine, 
Thus  in  glory  she  shall  shine; 

The  moon,  that's  called  ihe  church  appears, 
Beneath  her  feet,  and  shines  not  here. 

4  Twelve  stars  her  glittering  head  adorns, 
Her  scripture  doctrines  are  her  crowns; 
Now  in  her  golden,  heavenly  years, 

A  mother's  bride,  and  queen  appears. 

5  But  who  her  history  shall  explain, 

In  heaven  she's  travailed  in  her   pain; 

The  dragon  saw  her  in  her  hour, 

Her  fruit,  her  child,  fain  would  devour. 


36 

6  But  up  to  God,  and  his  own  throne, 
Her  child  was  caught  through  faith  alone  j 

This  woman,  yea  this  doctrine  fled, 
Into  the  wilderness  prepared. 

7  With  strength  Almighty  there  was  fed, 
In  her  own  place  prepared  of  God; 
Her  son  as  Michael  next  appears, 
The  dragon  with  his  angel's  fears. 

8  The  war  is  short,  lo!  Michael  stands, 
The  dragon  falls,  and  all  his  bands; 
Strength  and  salvation  loud  proclaim, 
In  God's  own  kingdom  now  he'll  reign. 

9  Proud  marshal  hosts  may  disappear, 
Their  weapons  turn  beneath  the  sod; 
While  Michael's  war  in  heaven  is  here, 
And  not  one's  garments  rolled  in  blood. 

10  No    more  the  beastly  dragon  reigns, 
His  day,  his  pride,  his  power  are  o'er; 
In  vain  he'll  toss  like  troubled  waves, 
Or  the  caged  lion  vainly  roar. 

1 1  The  everlasting  gospel  here, 
The  scripture  books  of  life  unfold; 


57 


For  so  conies  in  the  jubilee  year, 
And  the   new  heavens  and  earth  foretold. 


HYMN   16. 

The  Sew  Jerusalem  City  measured  by  the 

Angel. 

1     From  Paron's  brazen  mountain, 
Jerusalem  we'll  sing; 
Descending  as  a  city, 
Her  glory  dwells  within; 
The  throne  of  God  is  in  her, 
While  she  a  bride  appears; 
She  is  the  faith  of  ancient  saints, 
And  reigns  eternal  years. 

2     Her  pearly  gates  are  righteousness, 
Her  wall  salvation  stands; 
As  the  predicted  light  to  shine, 
Through  every  christian  land; 
All  names  of  living  powers  divine, 
The  precious  stones  of  tire; 
And  garnishes  her  wall  within, 
There  are  no  glories  higher. 
C 


S3 

Its  from  the  throne  her  river  pours, 

Her  christian  doctrines  fair; 

These  are  the  leaves  of  life  indeed, 

To  heal  the  nations  here; 

Twelve  thousand  furlongs  she's  found, 

On  every  side  the  same; 

The  hundred  lorty-four  thousand, 

Or  witnesses  by  name. 

Faith  is  the  golden  heavenly  reed, 

Now  in  the  angel's  hand; 

The  measured  wall  is  truly  squared, 

The  measure  of  a  man; 

Pure  gold  the  street  and  window,  love, 

No  night  or  darkness  here; 

Nor  sun,  nor  moon  of  former  times, 

For  God's  own  lights'  in  her. 

Within  are  those  the  Lamb  redeemed. 

And  in  life's  book  appear; 

The  kings,  their  glory  shall  bring  in, 

And  saved  nations  hear; 

No  moral  death  called  sin  is  here, 

Its  gates  are  guarded  sure; 

All  the  unholy  dwell  without, 

For  all  within  are  pure. 


39 

Lo,  times  and  seasons  now  are  changed, 
All  things  are  new  become; 
The  books  are  opened  and  their  light, 
Makes  new  Jerusalem; 
The  holy  shall  be  holy  still, 
And  the  new  heaven  remain* 
Come  all  ye  people  join  our  song, 
And  God's  own  truth  maintain. 


HYMN   17. 
Th8  foolishness  of  natural  wisdom» 

Cor.  I ;  20. 

1  Man's  wisdom  like  the  shaken  reed, 
Or  like  the  waves  may  toss; 

Although  he  claims  God's  ways  to  scan, 
He's  still  in  wonder  lost. 

2  Thus  wisdom  cried  in  Grecian  times, 
Five  thousand  God's  there  be; 

But  as  the  priests  the  world  reformed, 
They  made  them  one  in  three. 

3  While  thousands  of  a  later  date, 
In  doctrines  quite  as  vain; 

C2 


40 

Talk  of  decrees  and  books   of  fate, 
-As  though  from  God  they  came. 

4     In  Pandemonium's  dreadful  hells, 
They'll  chain  their  devils  there; 
Then  place  their  Gods  in  heavens  high, 
And  still  declare  they're  here. 

6  Mahomefs,  Jews  and  Christians  too, 
Make  images  unseen; 

They'll  fill  the  universe  of  space, 
Say  them  the  scriptures  mean. 

6     While  Pagan  nation's  Gods  are  made, 
Of  nature  and  of  art; 
And  so  engrossed,  bewitched  are  all, 
With  them  they're  loth  to  part. 

7  Tis  faith  alone  receives  the  prize, 
And  speaks  the  promise  true; 
The  wisdom  of  the  world  it  dies, 
WThen  truth  is  brought  to  view. 

8  In  bible  lands  the  scriptures  are. 
In  doctrine  all  complete; 
Inspired  of  God  the  prophet's  views,. 
In  hieroglyphics  meet. 


41 

9     Isaiah,  that  holy  man  declares, 
The  heavens  depart  away; 
Like  as  a  scroll,  cries  John,  it  rolls, 
It's  Daniel's  judgment  day. 

10  The  earth  shall  melt  and  be  dissolved, 
Speaks  Peter  in  his  turn  ; 

The  stars  shall  fall,  the  sea  be  void, 
While  fire  the  pastures  burn. 

1 1  The  heaven  and  earth  shall  flee  away, 
Before  a  great  white  throne; 

And  a  new  heaven  and  earth  appear, 
As  in  the  vision  shone. 

12  Expressions  high  throughout  the  book, 
As  in  those  lines  here  given; 
Consistency  and  truth  still  mind, 
Though  language  high  as  heaven! 

13  Apply  ch  man,  a  meaning  right, 
To  such  poetic  strains; 

A  sea  of  glass  will  rise  in  view, 
Which  are  the  gospel  plains. 

14  Old  fables  like  the  book  of  night, 
Shall  pass  away  with  noise ; 


42 

All  Israel  hail  the  heavenly  light, 
And  sing  eternal  joys. 


HYMN   13. 

The  Sitting  of  Judgment. 

Dan.  7;  10. 

1  While  numbers  as  the  sand  appears, 
Who  have  come  up  through  latter  years; 
God's  camp  of  saints  they  all  surround, 
But  with  them  no  true  faith  is  found. 

2  It's  then  from  heaven  true  light  appears, 
God's  own  elect,  through  endless  years; 
Calls  up  his  host  of  heaven  to  stand, 

In  judgment  o'er  a  guilty  land. 

3  When  all,  to  their  own  ways  are  fled, 
And  to  God's  ways,  and  truth  are  dead; 
When  al!  to  Babylon  are  gone, 

And  no  o*e  left  God's  truth  to  mourn. 

4  It's  then  by  inspiration  power, 

The  seals  are  loosed  for  judgment  hour; 
The  saints  all  rise  in  their  own  way, 
And  loud  proclaim  the  judgment  day, 


43 

5  When  all  have  drank  that  golden  cup, 
Destroyed  the  earth,  and  burned  it  up; 
While  doctrine  vain,  all  love  and  praise, 
And  talk  of  going  beyond  the  skies: 

6  It's  then  in  righteous  judgment  ire, 
Appears  the  burning  wheels  of  fire; 

It's  heaven's  own  doctrine,  lo,  there  found, 
And  bears  the  throne,  the  world  around. 

7  When  all  mankind  go  wondering  on, 
About  one  ancient  son  of  man; 

And  preach,  and  sing,  and  pray,  and  sigh, 
As  though  he'd  gone  'mid  planets  high: 

8  It's  then  the  seventh  trumpet  sounds, 
And  brings  their  pride  and  folly  down; 
Give  them  to  know  the  jubilee  year, 
And  that  the  son  of  man  is  here. 

8  When  atian  on  nature's  works  do  stare, 
Say  God  and  Christ  and  heaven  are  there, 

While  all's  beyond  the  skies  they  say; 

So  great's  their  false  divinitij. 

10  It's  then  with  iron  rod  appears, 
The  child  who  reigns  eternal  years  i 

C4 


44 

From  their  high  heaven  behold  they'rhurl'd 
And  plunged  into  the  moral  world. 

1 1  Lo!  Michael  and  his  angels  claim, 
But  in  the  moral  heavens  to  reign; 

Thus  God  and  Christ,  and  heaven  are  near, 
And  lo!  eternity  is  here. 


HYMN  19. 
Eden  or  invisible  moral  happiness. 

Gen.  2;  8;  15;  3;  2,4. 

1  In  Eden,  Paradise,  or  Heaven, 
The  tree  oflife  forever  grows; 
This  tree  and  all  its  fruits  are  given, 
To  heal  the  moral  world  from  woes, 

2  In  the  same  garden  with  life's  tree, 
There's  one  of  knowledge,  lo  we  find; 
It's  man  himself,  behold  we  see, 

For  where  there's  knowledge,  lothere'sroiwdL 

3  Evil  as  well  as  good,  you'll  find, 
Grows  in  like  trees,  but  that  of  life; 

Christ  and  his  church  were  sure  designed, 
By  Adam's  marriage  with  hii  wife. 


45 

4  No  more  was  ever  yet  designed, 
By  Eden,  Paradise  or  Heaven; 
But  peace  and  happiness  divine, 

Which  through  man's  faith,  to  him  is  given- 

5  Adam's  the  earth,  or  man's  the  same, 
Placed  in  the  garden  when  e'er  made; 
In  God's  own  image  for  to  shine. 

And  clear  the  earth  from  darkest  shade, 

6  In  this  God's  field  or  garden  fair, 
The  tree  of  life  and  knowledge  stood; 
God's  word  the  flaming  sword  is  here, 
Lo!  all  dwells  in  Emanuel's  land. 

7  Fain  would  man  put  forth  all  his  power, 
And  eat  the  fruit  of  life's  own  tree; 

So  live  like  gods  forevermore, 
But  still  go  on  in  his  own  way. 

8  Man  feels  the  loss  of  moral  powers, 
When  from  God's  garden  he  is    driven; 
So  shall  he  know  the  foretold  hour, 
And  God's  own  messenger  of  heaven. 

9  Let  no  man  think  to  hide,  or  fear 
Behind  the  scripture  trees  this  day; 


46 

Behold  the  cherubim  is  here, 

The  flaming  sword  turns  every  way.

oughorut  the  holy  volume, 
A  day  is  there  foretold; 
Upon  the  v    .  .  wns, 

Ordained  from  of  old; 
For  it  is  the  day  of  n    ". 
From  all  sorrow,  guilt  and  sin; 
V,  hen  all  things  are  made  holy, 
And  their  glory  shall  remain. 

A  new  people  shall  arise, 
At  the  trumpet  they  shall  hear; 
Receiving  a  new  kingdom, 
And  on  Zion  shall  appear; 

ir  harps  and  their  own  girdles, 
They  shall  rule  in  mighty  power; 
Their  gospel  shall  be  evermore 
This  is  the  judgment  hour. 


47 

Their  doctrine  shall  then  sound  aloud, 
All  old  worlds  now  are  done ; 
For  the  new  earth  and  heaven  too, 
Have  with  them  now  begun; 
For  old  time  dispensations, 
Like  the  chaff,  behold  they  are  gone; 
Because  the  books  are  opened, 
And  their  glory  now  hath  shone. 

By  the  sword  of  God's  own  spirit, 

All  their  enemies  shall  fall; 

For  the  everlasting  gospel, 

Is  the  trump  they  sound  to  all; 

Alike  both  days  and  years  indeed, 

All  ceremonies  vain; 

For  heaven  and  its  kingdom  sure, 

Shall  in  themselves  remain. 

Henceforth  their  works  shall  follow  them 
All  power  but  one's  put  down; 
Their  reward  it  shall  be  with  them, 
And  their  Lord  shall  be  their  crown; 
They  shall  consume  and  shall  destroy, 
All  doctrines  vain  of  men; 
Shall  hasten  on  the  kingdom  too, 
That  forevermore  shall  stand.

Who  will  be  this  strong  people  now. 
For  the  day  has  now  begun; 
Despise  ye  not  this  prophecy, 
It's  from  your  moral  sun; 
With  these  coals  now  from  the  altar, 
Be  your  heart  and  tongue  on  fire; 
Then  your  righteousness  remains, 
For  the  kingdom  now  is  sure. 


HYMN  21. 
A  pure  language. 

Zeph.  3;  9. 

1     What  e'er  the  universe  contain,, 

That  are  not  temporal  things; 

Unseen  they  dwell  within  the  mind, 

Which  doctrines  are  its  springs. 

2  In  light  shall  heaven's  own  doctrine  shine. 
That  in  the  books  were  wrote ; 
The  world  from  darkness  shall  awr-ke, 
Their  chains  shall  thus  be  broke. 

S     The  sun  that  should  to  darkness  turn, 
Was  called  the  son  of  man; 


49 

His  ministers  themselves  the  stars, 
The  church  herself  the  moon. 

4  While  nature's  course  is  still  the  same, 

The  christian  world  is  burned; 
The  fire  of  truth,  the  spirit's  flame, 
Pure  language  shall  return. 

5  No  where  is  death  and  hell  e'er  found, 
But  in  the  minds  of  men; 

Made  up  of  doctrines  false  and  vain; 
And  give  them  up  they  shall. 

6  For  lo,  the  ungodly  world  is  gone, 
The  Jewish  world  is  past; 

No  other  world  but  christian  now, 
And  this  is  shaken  last. 

7  The  long  predicted  world  to  come, 
The  earth  and  heaven  new; 

Is  the  stone  kingdom  now  set  up, 
Thus  all  things  are  made  true. 

8  Happy  the  man  who  overcomes, 
And  will  those  sayings  hear; 

The  names  of  wisdom  he  shall  know, 
And  hail  the  jubilee  year

HYMN.  22. 

Parting  assunder  of  the  times. 

2Esd.  6;  7— Heb.  12;  26. 

1  This  is  the  day  so  long  foretold, 
By  saints  and  prophets  from  of  old; 

The  day  which  shakes  the  earth  and  heaven; 
By  a  new  revelation  given. 

2  The  parting  times  assunder  break, 
In  God's  own  image  now  awake; 
Time,  dispensation  days  are  done, 
The  seventh  day  has  now  begun. 

3  The  scripture  clouds  of  heaven  appear, 
Let  all  the  world  bzhold  them  here, 
For  judgment  and  for  mercy  given, 
In  these  the  covenant  bow  of  heaven, 

4  Dissolve  your  fears  in  iove  divine, 
The  placid  heaven  shall  around  you  shine ; 

With  God,  Heaven  and  Christ  within, 
We  fear  no  hell,  nor  death,  ncr  sin. 

5  Jiiz' ice  and  judgment  are  God's  throne, 

The  spirit's  power  is  truth  alone; 
In  these  perfections  now  v/e'll  sh 
And  bear  God's  image  all  divine. 


61 

In  a  new  kingdom,  lo,  we'll  join, 
Leave  mystery,  time  and  sin  behind; 
The  powers  of  Anti-Christ  are  vain, 
By  us  the  saint3  and  prophets  reign. 

Salvation,  now  our  walls  shall  stand, 
Our  gates  be  praise  for  every  land; 
Come  in,  come  in,  go  spread  the  call, 
Tis  God's  own  truth  descends  for  all. 


HYMN  23. 

War  in  Heaven. 

Rev.   12;  7. 

1  In  ancient  and  in  modern  days, 
Has  the  fell  war  its  thousands  slain; 

While  slaughter'd  blood  of  millions  cries, 
Aloud  toman's  eternal  shame. 

2  False  doctrines  have  the  world  deceived, 

As  from  a  constellation  given; 
That  starry  hosts  of  men  believed, 
Has  been  the  dragon's  reign  in  heaven. 

3  To  save  and  not  destroy  once  cams, 
The  Son  of  Man  and  all  his  host: 


52 

But  lo,  a  world  who  bear  his  name, 
Have  rose  in  wars  and  carnal  lust. 

4  Oh,  what  a  blessed  judgment  hour, 
To  comprehend  the  dragon's  reign; 

His  head  and  horns  called  christian  powers, 
Shall  be  controlled  and  surely  slain. 

5  Think  deep  ye  sons  of  men  who  hear, 
The  latter  days  have  now  rolled  on; 
The  thrones  of  judgment  shall  appear, 
And  anti-christian  thrones  cast  down. 

6  It's  done,  the  seventh  angel  cries, 
It's  done  re-echo's  from  the  throne, 
For  lo,  the  witnesses  arise, 

And  loud  proclaim,  behold  it's  done. 


HYMN  24. 

Invitation  to  the  promises. 

Rev.  22;  17. 

Come  eat  ye  now  the  tree  of  life, 
The^second  death  now  flee; 
The  hidden  manna*now  receive* 
And  anew  name's  for  thee. 


53 

SWith  raiment  white  and  clean  your  clothed 
While  you  our  doctrine  love, 
It  is  the  new  Jerusalem, 
Descending  from  above. 

3  A  pillar  in  this  house  you'll  be, 
When  you  shall  overcome; 

In  righteousness  divine  you'll  sit, 
Our  kingdom  shall  be  one. 

4  Power  o'er  the  nations  you  shall  have, 
For  broken  they  shall  be; 

Our  doctrine  like  an  iron  rod, 
Remains  Eternally. 

5  In  a  new  light  all  things  appear, 
It  all  things  shall  refine; 

Loud  hallelujah  now  we'll  sing 
This  blessed  light  is  mine. 


HYMN  25. 
The  veil  and   Covering  rent, 

Isaiah  25;  7,  8. 
What  is  that  veil  of  darkness, 
That  shall  be  rent  away? 


54 

It's  long  been  spread  o'er    christians. 
As  on  the  Jews  it  lay. 

2  In  the  letter  of  the  scripture, 
The  word  it  has  been  vain; 
In  this  the  whole  creation, 
Has  travailed  in  pain. 

3  Mid  raging  tempests  driven, 
And  roaring  waves  around; 

Those  bars,  the  sand  of  God's  own  sea, 
And  none  could  break  them  down. 

4  This  mystic  darkened  veil, 
Shall  sure  be  rent  in  twain; 

He  who  the  sands  and  bars    removes, 
Shall  put  them  up  again. 

5  In  God's  own  image,  yet  once  more, 
Man  surely  shall  be  made ; 

From  day  to  day,  from  sea  to  sea, 
Wisdom,  mankind  have  led. 

6  The  heavens  wax  old,  the  earth  decays 
As  garments  worn  to  shame ; 

Or  like  the  moon  in  her  last  wane, 
Earth's  righteousness  the  same; 


7  ftchold  man's  great  creation  now, 
On  dispensation  time ; 

Six  thousand  years  of  labor  wrought, 
And  what  doth  wisdom  find. 

8  Because  man  i  aanot  comprehend, 
All  nature  and  her  laws; 

A  mental  image  lo!  he's  made, 
Then  cms  behold  the  can 

9  All  names  sublime  he  reads  and   hears, 

And  then  creates  them  forms; 

JIis  hopes  and  fears  all  work  on  these, 

W  tiile  thus  he  stands  and  warms. 

10  In  all  bis  heavens  and  all  his  hells, 
W.th  all  his  faiths  put  there; 

No  where  crisis  but  in  himself, 
And  echo  answers  ?■.•'■ 

1 1  The  heavens  dissolve  and  earth  ism

As  princes,  rule  ye  on  the  earth, 
The  endless  gospel  sound.

And  reason  with  it  join; 

It's  then  o'er  sin,  and  death,  and  hell, 

You'll  triumph,  and  shall  shine. 

14  Sound  all  who  henceforth  overcome, 

May  triumph,  and  shall  sing; 
O  grave!  where  is  thy  victory \ 
O  death!  where  is  thy  sting\ 


HYMN  26. 
How  to  overcome. 
Rev.  21;  7. 

1  What  shall  be  done  to  overcome, 
And  have  each  promise  sealed; 
To  all  who  have  now  ears  to  hear, 
This  truth  shall  be  revealed. 

2  To  overcome  great  Babylon, 
And  learn  the  truth  divine; 

Is  but  to  die  to  all  you've  learned, 
And  a  new  kingdom  find 


57 

3  From  those  alone  who  were  inspired, 
The  truth  of  heaven  is  seen; 

For  all  the  works  of  men  beside, 
The  chaff  and  stubble  mean. 

4  All  that  has  come  upon  the  earth, 
Since  the  blest  days  of  John; 
Must  be  renounced  and  overcome, 
As  doctrines  not  divine. 

5  The  book's  been  sealed, and  mortals  vain, 
And  ne'er  beheld  the  day; 
When  their  own  works,  like  jews  of  old , 
Should  all  be  swept  away. 

6  Throughout  the  universe  of  space, 
One  book  alone  is  found; 

That  e'er  was  sealed  with  seven  seals, 
The  word  of  God  profound. 

7  Behold  ye  then  thro'  earth  and  heaven, 

No  more  than  one  appears; 

To  loose  the  seals  of  God's  own  word, 

Throughout  eternal  years. 

8  Behold  God's  great  foundation  laid, 
By  saints  and  prophets  given ; 


53 

Six  thousand  \ears.  as  it  were  sealed, 
While  men  build  earth  and  heaven. 

9  Theirdoctrines. systems, works  andforms, 

Shall  henceforth  pass  away  ; 
Wisdom  appears  the  seals  to  loose, 
And  brings  her  perfect  day. 

10  Come  in.  come  in,  to  all  she  cries, 

The  darkened  veil  pass  thrc: 

In  a  new  heaven  and  earth  we'll  sing, 

Of  God's  salvation  true. 


HYMN,  87. 

The  Invisible  World. 

Luke,  17;  -21—  Rom.  lOj  3. 

i   Was  heavenly  wisdom  mine  to  scan, 

The  ways  of  God.  and  ways  of  man; 

No  heaven  or  hell  should  I  e?er  find, 

But  those  which  dwell  within  the  mind. 

2  Were  all  the  planets  in  their  spheres, 
Explored  in  their  eternal  years; 
No  God.  nor  heaven,  nor  angels   there, 
Would  e'er  be  found,  that  are  not  here 


59 

3  Should  eyes  of  flesh,  all  space  behold, 
Where  thought  e 'er  reached  or  planets  roll ; 

No  heaven  or  hell  would  see  in  all, 
But  as  now  seen  upon  this  ball. 

4  Above,  beneath,  before,  behind, 
There  are  no  heaven  or  hell  to  find, 
No  good,  nor  evil  can  be  shown, 
But  in  the  moral  world  alone. 

6  Come  then  and  part  with  all  your  pride, 
And  lay  your  mortal  thoughts  aside; 
Open  your  gates  and  you  shall  hear, 
For  lo,  eternal  truth  comes  near. 

6  To  understand,  is  to  behold, 

The  things  divine  which  were  of  old f 
The  mystery  of  all  mysteries  sealed, 
Time's  darkest  curtain's  now  revealed. 

7  All  chains  of  former  ages  break, 

Bid  the  whole  world  from  death  awake; 

The  world  invisible  behold, 

Is  mans  own  mind,  the  moral  ivorld! 

8  Wisdom  with  all  things  she  can  scan. 

Dwells  truly  in  her  God-like  man; 
Z)2 


60 

In  all  successive  ages  round, 
With  living  men  alone  she's  found. 

9  What  e'er  by  wisdom  men  may  find, 
Dwells  in  themselves,  in  their  own  mind, 

Thus  God  and  Christ,  and  Heaven  are  near 
And  lo,  eternity  is  here. 


HYMN  23. 
The  Spirit's  Hymn. 

Heb.  12;  22;  23. 
\   Hail  ye  spirits  clothed  with  organs, 
Through  which  music  sounds  its  way; 
Free,  like  songsters  of  the  forest, 
Sing  like  saints  of  ancient  day 
Break  the  silence  all  around  you, 
Of  redemption  now  we'll  sing; 
Children,  children,  heaven  calls  you, 
Make  the  vocal  regions  ring. 

2  We  were  spirits  once  in  darkness, 
Like  the  prisoner  in  his  ceil; 
Sin  the  walls  and  chains  around  us, 
Condemnation  was  our  hell; 


61 

Sorrow,  shame,  and  tear  hung  o'er  us, 
Now  in  penitence  we'll  tell; 
Dark  despair  went  fleeting  by  us, 
Round  us  hope  stood  hovering  still. 

3  We  were  spirits  all  enchanted, 
When  we  saw  full  mercies  blaze  ; 
And  began  to  sing  hosamias, 
'Twas  the  morning. oi  our  days; 
All  our  prison  doors  were  opened, 
Free  salvation  then  come  in; 
Grace  appeared  to  us  an  ocean, 
Enough  to  wash  the  world  from  sin. 

4  Hail  ye  spirits  of  the  martyrs, 
We  now  lend  our  organ  powers; 
Hail  ye  spirit  of  the  prophets, 
Now  descending,  lo,  'tis  ours; 
From  the  pit  behold  we're  taken, 
And  our  tongues  were  loosed  to  tell; 

Of  free  grace  and  blood  washed  garments, 
That  have  saved  our  souls  from  hell, 

5  We  are  spirits  born  of  spirit, 
Temples  of  the  living  God; 

D

Zion's  hill  our  habitation, 

With  saints  and  prophets,  our  abode 

Garments  of  salvation  clothe  us,

Lo,  'tis  eden  all  around  us, 

God  and  Christ  our  want  supplies. 

6  We  are  spirits,  swift  in  motion, 
.All  anointed  from  on  high; 

In  heavenly  places  our  devotion. 
Sainted  spirits  never  die; 
Eden's  garden  now  is  opened, 
Trees  of  life  to  all  are  free; 
Golden  fruit  the  nation's  healing, 
Streams  of  life  behold  we  see. 

7  We  are  spirits  joined  with  spirit81 
Who  from  tribulation  came; 

In  us  burns  the  spirit's  power, 
Feeding  now  devotion's  flame, 
We  are  spirits,  happy  spirits, 
All  our  wants  are  well  supplied; 
Like  a  sea  of  glass  our  pleasures, 
Not  like  billows  of  the  tide. 

8  Hail  ye  spirits  all  triumphant. 
Lend  your  light  winged  cars  of  fire;

And  shines  with  purest  rays.

Foundations  ne'er  shall  fail; 

The  spirit's  stream  shall  run  like  Thames

All  round  the  nations  saved; 
The  tree  of  life  bears  fruti  above

And  now  sing  for  Babylon; 
Throughout  her  wide  domain, 
All  worship  now  the  sun; 
She's  known  of  all  the  nations, 
None  "•  ith  her  can  compare; 

For  her  pride  has  reached  to  heaven, 
And  her  name  we  will  declare.

On  seven  mighty  mountains,

She  builds  her  eminent  places, 
In  the  corners  of  the  streets; 
Inviting  there  the  nations, 
In  them  her  people  meet. 

It's  there  her  fornication, 

Is  poured  forth  on  the;n  all; 

Its  there  she  vends  her  merchandise, 

Called  grace  and  Adam's  fall; 

In  her  scientific  pride, 

She's  in  power  over  all;  • 

To  glorify  herself, 

On  the  nations  she  doth  call. 

Mahomets,  Jews  and  Pagans, 
Her  old  neighbors,  she  beholds; 
And  by  the  expense  of  millions, 
Seeks  to  bring  them  to  her  folds; 
Her  merchants  and  her  merchandise. 
Are  far  beyond  compare; 
Her  great  voice  and  societies, 
Are  now  known  everywhere. 

Now  as  a  mart  of  nations, 
The  scriptures  are  her  sea; 
Her  pilots  are  her  teachers, 
Comprehended  thus  she'll  be;

Let  the  earth  now  be  enlightened, 
By  our  glory  that's  so  new; 
While  we  cry  that  she  is  fallen, 
She  is  fallen,  it  is  true. 

9     From  her  beastly  foundation, 
Her  broad  walls,  they  shall  fall; 
With  the  besom  of  destruction, 
She  shall  be  swept  from  all; 
For  her  day  it  has  now  come, 
We  proclaim  aloud  to  all ; 
None  in  her  that  can  save  her, 
From  her  long  predicted  fall 

10  What  now  reigns  on  the  earth, 
Where  the  scriptures  sure  are  seen; 
Is  mystery  Babylon  the  great, 
Called  the  christian  religion ; 

She  ne'er  was  the  stone  kingdom, 
As  herself  she  yet  shall  see; 
But  the  fourth  kingdom  of  Daniel, 
Wherever  she  may  be. 

1 1  She's  the  heavens  and  the  earth, 
To  be  dissolved  and  pass  away, 
The  feet  and  toes  of  the  image. 
Composed  of  Iron  and  Clay;

As  a  bible  dispensation, 
Like  old  worlds,  pass  away; 
And  the  new  heavens  and  earth  appear, 
On  our  bright  millenial  day. 

12     The  sun  it  turns  to  darkness, 
The  moon  she  turns  to  blood; 
The  stars  they  fall  from  heaven, 
At  the  doctrine  of  the  Lord, 
For  the  six  days  of  creation, 
Are  finished  now  and  done; 
Behold  the  books  are  opened, 
And  the  seventh  day's  begun.

And  through  the  moral  heavens  roll, 
His  kingdom  all  divine  is  here, 

And  shall  be  spread  from  pole  to  pole. 

4  In  vain  shall  death  and  hell  oppose, 
The  stone  that  Jills  the  earth  to  stand) 
The  books  are  sealed  to  all  his  foes, 
But  lo,  they're  opened  in  his  hand. 

5  The  day  has  come  so  long  foretold, 
When  heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away; 

It  is  the  anti-christian  world, 

Which  shall  give  place  to  endless  day. 

6  Let  the  new  heaven  and  earth  appear, 
Where  all  things  are  created  new; 
The  scripture  books  of  life  are  here, 

Where  speak  the  saints  and  prophets  true.

From  every  nation,  tongue  and  power; 
They  stand  by  him  whom  they  foretold,

As  clouds  beheld  by  all  their  foes. 
But  armies  of  immortal  power.

Now  to  the  people  of  the  sain  ts, 
Let  one  and  all  give  ear; 
Before  our  God  we  all  have  come, 
This  is  the  jubilee  year. 

The  saints  are  in  the  book  of  life. 
But  we  their  people  are; 
We  will  make  room  in  all  our  mind, 
And  take  the  kingdom  there. 

Our  God  is  one  with  us  to  dwell, 
The  earth  shall  him  adore, 


71 

His  moral  kingdom  he'll  controll. 
And  reign  forevermore. 

4  From  Teman  as  our  light  he  came, 
And  the  mount  Paron  nigh; 

For  lo,  those  testaments  divine, 
His  brazen  mountains  high. 

5  A  Son  of  Man  with  clouds  appears, 
The  witnesses    on  high; 
Ordained  of  old  from  ancient  years, 
And  reigns  eternally. 

6  His  gospel  everlasting  brings, 
The  day  so  long  foretold; 

His  doctrines  are  the  burning  wheels, 
And  o'er  the  earth  shall  roll. 

7  Let  the  first  heaven  now  pass  away, 
A  new  one  has  begun; 

For  lo,  the  woman's  seed  appears, 
With  the  stone  kingdom  come. 

8  No  more  we  trust  vain  works  of  men. 
No  more  in  our  hearts  say; 

Who  shall  ascend  or  yet  descend, 
This  is  the  promised  day. 


72 

9     Old  things  with  me  are  done  away. 
And  new  ones  now  appear; 
We're  glad  we  ever  saw  the  day, 
The  great  redemption  year. 


HYMN.  33. 
Cherubim  Song. 

Psalms,  18;  10. 

Come  behold  all  ye  people, 

And  the  Lord  shall  appear; 

On  his  day  of  redemption, 

And  lo,  he  is  here; 

His  vengeance  for  clothing, 

He  now  has  put  on  5 

His  word  shakes  the   nations, 

And  darken's  the  sun. 

The  stars  like  the  meteors, 
All  fall  from  their  spheres; 
When  he  points  to  his  kingdom. 
Or  speaks  of  his  years; 
He  bends  his  own  bow, 
And  his  lightnings  they  fly; 
While  his  thunders  roll  on; 
And  the  pride  of  all  die 


73 

He  moves  on  in  tempests, 
Or  in  zephyrs  appears; 
Calls  in  his  own  harvest, 
And  burns  up  the  tares; 
Jlis  treasures  are  boundless, 
All  laid  up  in  store; 
There's  food  for  all  nations, 
And  garments  to  wear. 

When  he  opens  his  armors, 

Lo!  wonders  are  there; 

As  a  warrior,  his  army 

All  deathless  appear; 

Bright  sword,  and  bright  arrows, 

All  burnished  now  are; 

In  his  camp,  lo!  white  horses, 

In  numbers  are  there. 

All  waiting  in  silence, 
His  command  for  to  hear, 
At  the  voice  of  their  shepherd, 
All  his  hosts  now  appear; 
Wild  beasts  change  their  places, 
And  the  earth's  put  in  fear; 
The  streams  leave  their  courses, 
And  the  rocks  disappear; 


'r: 


74 

Tha  mountains  all  leap: 

From  their  beds  when  they  hear; 

Lo!  the  rallies  all  rise, 

And  his  highway  is  there; 

Through  the  sea  with  his  horses, 

Behold  him  pass  on; 

With  his  rod  s::.::es  the  nations, 

And        -        hi  to  mourn. 

Great  Ba  lakea,  in 

The  end  of  her  years, 

s       -;  fallen, 
Sound  aloud  all  his  seers; 
Her  kings  leave  their  thronef, 
And  he  down  in  despair; 
The  earth  hears  her  cry, 
While  her  smoke  rises  there. 

The  heavens    stand  trembling, 
And  the  sea     sea  bigher; 

While  he  rides  in  his  charriot, 
And  the  world  is  on  fire; 
He  spec-:*,  a  new   heaven, 
And  a  new  earth  appear; 
While  his  rrain  rills  the  tcmpU, 
And  his  epi~  law 


HYMN.  34. 

dog  and  Magog. 

Ezek.    33  &.  39.  Rev.  20;  8. 

1  What  is  that  beloved  city, 
And  camp  of  saints  foretold ; 

Which  gog  and  magog's  mighty  powers, 
Would  all  surround  so  bold? 

And  pray,  what  fire  is  that  comes  down, 
On  numbers  as  the  sand; 

When  the  great  vision  too,  should  speak, 
And  books  shall  open  stand? 

2  That  camp  of  saints  is  God's  own  word, 

The  scriptures  all  divine; 
It's  here  the  saints  and  prophets  meet, 

And  speak,  and  reign,  and  shine; 
No  other  camp  of  saints  we  know, 

Nor  city  thus  sublime; 
Which  people  as   the  sand  have  seen, 

But  testaments  we  find. 

S  The  christian  dispensation  now, 
The  earth  on  which  appears; 
Those  numbers  as  the  sand  led  on, 
As  it  were  two  thousand  vears; 


76 

From  its  four  quarters,  still  led  on, 
Through  self  deception's  power; 

On  all  its  breadth  behold  they're  come, 
To  meet  the  judgment  hour. 

4  The  heavenly  witnesses  indeed, 

The  camp  and  city  mean; 
And  as  the  scripture  books  unfold, 

The  fire,  the  law  is  seen. 
Oh  how  divided  are  those  powers, 

Called  christian,  great  and  small) 
How  dead  they  stand  before  their  God, 

Whose  truth  is  sent  for  all. 

5  Unto  the  life  of  saints  they're  dead, 

Called  prophets  in  their  time; 
All  christians,  like  the  Jews  are  dead. 

To  God  and  his  own  mind; 
These  are  the  dead  who  shall  be  judged, 

From  what  the  books  contain; 
According  to  their  works  indeed, 
For  so  the  samts  shall  reign. 

6  How  deep  and  broad  is  God's  own  word, 

Which  as  the  sea  appears; 
While  dispensations  are  its  dayt< 
Ettrnal  are  its  years; 


77 

So  shall  this  sea  give  up  its  dead, 
When  mysteries  disappear; 

And  death,  and  hell  forever  flee, 
The  spirit  world  now  here. 


HYMN  35. 
Watchman,  what  of  the  night? 
Isaiah  21;  11. 
I've  heard  of  a  trumpet, 
From  zion  shall  sound; 
Great  Babylon  fall, 
And  no  more  be  found; 
When  the  thrones  of  the  might/, 
Shall  crumble  and  fall; 
And  all  man's  vain  heavens, 
Depart  like  a  scroll: 

I've  heard,  while  the  heavens, 
Would  appear  without  light; 
When  the  watchmen  proclaim, 
Both  the  day  and  the  night; 
Alas!  for  those  shepherds, 
Who  shall  howl  in  that  day; 
When  Jordan  is  spoiled, 
And  their  gods  pass  awtv 


78 


I've  heard  of  great  nations. 

Who'll  shake  at  the  fall, 

Of  Lebanon's  cedar, 

Which  gave  fruit  to  them  alfj 

Behold  now  the  image, 

For  destruction  would  stand; 

While  a  stone  from  the  mount lin, 

Appears  without  hai 

I've  heard  that  the  sun 
Should  be  darkened  to  shame; 
The  moon  be  confounded, 
And  the  Lord  of  hosts  rt 
While  the  nation's  great  cities, 
The  prophets  foresaw; 
Shall  fall  in  the  war 
And  be  burned  by  the  law. 

I've  heard  that  two  gates, 
Should  be  opened  to  stand, 
And  be  spread  out  as  wings, 
Till  Emanuel's  land, 
The  secrets  of  wisdom, 
Like  treasures  be  given, 
God's  elect  take  the  land, 
Aa  the  kingdom  of  heaven- 


79 

I've  heard  zion's  watchmen, 
Shall  then  sec  eye  to  eye; 
For  the  mystery  u  finished, 
And  the  timo,  has  come  nigh; 
For  the  city  of  cities, 
God's  word  now  appears; 
And  the  life  of  man's  hand, 
Is  the  Lord  himself  there. 


HYMN  36. 

The  Slumbering  Virgins 

Mat.  25;  6;   10. 

1  Awake  ye  slumbering  christians, 
And  Gabriel's  trumpet  hear; 
The  everlasting  gospel, 
Proclaims  the  judgment  here; 
The  midnight  cry's  been  sounded, 
The  bride  has  entered  in; 

The  wise  have  all  ascended, 
And  left  the  world  of  sin; 

2  Your  lamps  ye  foolish  virgins, 
Have  all  gone  out  in  night; 

While  saints  and  prophet's  doctrine, 

Now  shine  in  endless  light; 
£3 


so 

From  the  four  winds  ef  heaven, 
The  elect  are  gathered  here; 
Within  the  holy  volume, 
Their  rames  enrolled  appear. 

I     No  boasting  now  ye  christians, 
Like  Jews  your'e  left  behind; 
God's  line  of  separation. 
Is  drawn  through  endless  time. 
Ye  are  the  saint's  own  people, 
The  camp  of  saint's  surround; 
But  in  the  holy  city, 
God's  saints  alone  are  found. 

4  Why  should  your  Idols,  christians, 
Be  placed  above  the  sky  ? 
They'll  fall  into  perdition, 

And  the  pride  of  all  shall  die. 
Your  sun  now  turns  to  darkness, 
And  earth  is  overthrown; 
Mount  Zion  now  is  builded, 
And  shall  to  all  be  shown. 

5  For  the  new  heaven  is  coming, 
The  bride  she's  all  complete; 
The  moon,  your  christian  system. 

Is  all  beneath  her  feet ; 


81 

Come  out  of  mystic  darkness, 
Look  forward  to  the  day; 
When  sorrow,  sin  and  mourning, 
From  all  shall  pass  away. 

Light  up  your  souls  in  wisdom, 
Our  God  and  Christ  arc  near; 
And  sing  aloud  salvation, 
Redemption  now  is  here. 


HYMN  37. 
The  Jubilee?. 

The  mystery  of  times, 
Shall  no  longer  remain; 
Nor  the  world  through  their  faith, 
Longer  travail  in  pain; 
For  an  end  of  all  mystery, 
Through  scripture  we'll  bring; 
So  comes  the  blest  Sabatic  year, 
Let  earth  and  heaven  sing. 

The  long  sealed  fountains, 
We'll  open  abroad ; 
And  pour  out  the  scriptures, 
Those  waters  of  God; 


S2 

While  the  stone  from  the  mount, 
Of  God  shall  appear; 
Welcome  in  all,  my  Brethren, 
This  great  redemption  year. 

The  world  called  christian, 
Like  old  worlds  are  done; 
For  the  new  earth  and  heaven, 
Have  surely  begun; 
It's  the  kingdom  of  glory, 
Which  all  things  contains, 
Now  descends  the  new  city, 
And  ever  remains. 

In  the  end  of  the  world, 
Called  the  fullness  of  time; 
The  books  they  are  opened, 
And  all  men  shall  find; 
No  planets  of  nature, 
Shall  vanish  away; 
But  time  dispensations, 
By  the  bright  Millenial  day. 

The  heaven  and  the  earth, 
Of  generations  we  find; 
Has  been  the  whole  creation. 
In  darkness  of  mind; 


#3 

But  their  chains  shall  be  broken, 
The  world  shall  be  free  ; 
And  in  our  new  Jerusalem, 
We'll  shout  the  jubilee, 


HYMN  38. 
A  Trumpet  for  the  Priests. 

Joel,  2;  14;  17. 

1  Why  should  the  priests, 
With  voice  on  high; 
Put  all  the  world  in  fear, 

Since  eighteen  hundred  forty  three, 
Is  now  the  jubilee  year? 

2  Why  should  they  still, 
Exalt  themselves; 
The  visions  to  controll, 

Since  on  this  great  redemption  year, 
Michael  the  books  unfolds? 

3  Why  should  those  men, 
The  earth  destroy, 

By  doctrines  false  and  vain, 

Since  now  the  seventh  angel  sounds, 

Their  system  shall  be  slain  ? 


84 

Why  should  those  stars 

Go  wandering  on, 

About  one  Son  of  Man? 

Since  at  this  time  so  long  foretold, 

He's  found  near  Babylon? 

Why  should  the  seers, 

So  blind  remain; 

Deceive  themselves  and  all, 

Since  in  the  end  of  their  own  times, 

From  heaven  the  dragons  fall? 

Why  should  those  lords, 
Expect  a  man, 
From  nature's  regions  high? 
Although  he  ivas,  he  sure  is  not, 
And  yet  behold  he's  nigh* 

Why  should  those  kings, 
Go  on  in  pride, 
The  Son  of  man  deny  ? 
Since  all's  been  warned  from  olden  times, 
Their  faith  and  hope  may  die. 

J     Let  not  the  priests. 
Stand  gazing  still, 
From  old  Bethany'*  plain; 


85 

Nor  think  in  fog  as  mystic  tloudi,  s 
Mesiah's  come  to  reign. 

9     Let  all  the  world 
Now  understand, 
The  clouds  by  which  he  came; 
Were  scripture  clouds  of  gospel  heav&iit 

In  these  he  comes  again. 

10     Let  all  mankind, 

Take  warning  now, 
From  Jews  they  so  much  blame, 
That  by  the  scripture  books  unsealed', 
The  anointed  comes  to  reign. 

I  1      Now  let  the  priests, 

Anoint  their  eyes; 
And  they  shall  henceforth  sec, 
That  Esdras  lion  from  the  v.  ood, 
The  mountain  stone  shall  be. 
*The  Son  oi  Man  is  be  who  was  aiid  is  not,  yet 
is,  in  the  piedicted  ^ua  of  Man. —  Rev.  l~;  5 — 13; 

II  —  17:8. 


HYMN,  39. 
A  Sons  for  our  day. 
1      My  soul  in  visions,  on  our  tin- 
.-  ime  heavenly  Ham*5  now  bear 


S6 


A  raptured  sound  to  raise; 
The  listning  heavens  now  hear  the  sound, 
And  slumbering  earth  shall  wake  around, 

To  bring  millenial  days. 

S  Behold  in  bright  array  appears, 

A  host  of  heaven  these  latter  years, 
For  to  redeem  the  world; 
With  music's  sounds  sublime  they  call; 
To  raise  the  world  both  one  and  all, 
And  banners  all  unfurled. 

3  Now  let  the  seven  thunders  roll, 
And  sweep  the  earth  from  pole  to  pole, 
From  every  hell-born  sin; 

Break  every  chain  of  ages  past, 
And  bid  the  world  awake  at  last, 
And  bring  salvation  in. 

4  On  yonder  hill  see  peace  now  stand, 
A  fair  white  banner  in  her  hand, 
And  truth  stands  by  her  side; 

Still  farther  on  see  banners  fly, 
They're  temperance  flags  of  victory, 
But  still  they're  marching  on. 


87 

5  There  {s  one  more  phalanx  true  and  brave, 
They're  marching  forward  tor  the  slave, 
The  world  they  would  make  free. 
Justice  and  truth,  their  motto's  right, 
And  in  the  name  of  heaven  they  fight, 
They're  sure  of  victory. 

8     Such  are  the  people  of  the  saints, 
To  free  the  earth  from  her  complaintgf 
And  bring  the  promised  day; 
No  martial  music  like  a  flood, 
Weapons  nor  garments  rolled  in  blood, 
When  God  prepares  the  way, 

5  They're  clothed  with  armor  for  the  fight, 
And  robes  of  victory  pure  and  white, 
They're  sure  to  win  the  day; 
All  who  shall  dare  to  these  oppose, 
To  the  new  heaven  and  earth  are  foes, 
And  sure  shall  pass  away. 

8     Let  all  now  hear  the  trumpets  sound, 
Arise  and  put  intemperance  down, 
Until  our  world  are  free ; 
Break  the  war  spirit  in  our  land, 
Burst  slavery's  chains  and  every  band. 
And  then's  the  jubilee. 


88 

HYMN  40. 
A  voice  from  the  mountain. 
There's  crowns  and  bright  laurels, 
Prepared  for  the  brave ; 
Who  have  entered  the  war, 
In  behalf  of  the  slave; 
No  death,  blood  nor  carnage, 
Has  stained  their  renown; 
In  posterity's  archives,     ■ 
Shall  appear  their  just  crown. 

The  names'of  death's  warriors, 
Shall  dwindle  to  shame; 
From  the^records  of  Heaven, 
Shall  peace  blot  their  name, 
While  those  ciad  in  armor, 
Of  truth  for  the  fight; 
Shall  shine  in  that  kingdom, 
Where^God  has^ his_right. 

Shame,  shame,  on  those  Priests," 

Politicians  and  ali; 

Who  pervert  Heaven's  records 

For  to  make  justice  fall; 

Who  would  prove  war,  oppression, 

And  slavery  right; 


89 

From    a  book  they  call  holy, 
And  wisdom's  delight. 

Shout  aloud  from  your  walls, 
Abolitionists  brave; 
God's  elect  forge  no  chains  , 
For  to  bind  down  the  slave, 
They're  sons  of  perdition 
Who  use  heaven's  tools; 
To  fight  abolition, 
And  make  the  world  fools. 

Roll  on  the  bright  car 
Of  redemption  for  all; 
From  heterodox  thrones, 
The  once  mighty    shall  fall; 
Those  who  from  our  bible, 
Preach  slavery  is  right; 
Prove  satan's  tranformed, 
Into  angels  of  light. 

As  the  stream  shows  the  fountain, 
And  the  fruit  proves  the  tree, 
It's  the  dragon  in  heaven, 
That  upholds  slavery; 
Now  as  lightning  he  falls, 
And  from  heaven  is  driven; 


90 

By  the  gospel  of  God, 

Or  the  truth  bathed  in  heaven, 

Blind  bishops  and  priests, 
In  their  clerical  power; 
Are  without  root  or  branch, 
In  the  true  judgment  hour; 
Who  have  ruled  oe'r  the  world, 
In  oppression  and  pride; 
But  Christ  in  his  members, 
By  works  have  denied. 

Two  millions  of  slaves, 
In  this  land  they  call  free; 
What  a  paradox  this! 
But  those  priests  will  not  see; 
They  would  prove  slavery  right. 
By  that  old  written  word; 
While  prayers,  tears  and  blood, 
Cries  for  vengeance  to  God. 

If  in  word  they  allow, 
That  cursed  slavery  is  wrong; 
War,  duels,  oppression, 
To  Satan  belong; 
Then  why  live  in  ease, 
And  do  nothing  to  hinder; 


91 

Seek  for  loavei  and  for  fishes, 
And  sectarian  splendor. 

10  Had  the  priests  rose  en-masse, 
As  they  ought  to  have  done; 
When  the  trump  and  the  battle 
For  the  slave  first  began; 
They  might  have  been  freed, 
And  this  nation  set  right; 
And  dark  legislation, 

Been  past  as  the  night. 

1 1  Tax  the  genius  and  talant, 
In  true  zeal  from  this  hour; 
For  earth's  happy  freedom, 
As  for  sect  and  for  power; 
Not  a  bondman,  a  slaver, 
Nor  thirster  for  blood, 
Would  belong  in  this  land, 
On  this  footstool  of  God. 

12  Free  the  slaves  of  the  north, 
For  our  cause  is  from  heaven; 
Then  the  south  will  give  up, 
And  the  victory  be  given; 
Stand  firm  in  your  ranks, 

All  my  brethren  now  free; 
F 


o-> 


With  heralds  and  trumpets. 
To  the  great  jubilee. 


HYMN  41. 

The  perfect  day. 

Isa.  1;  27.  Pro.  4;  18. 

1  All  hail  the  light  the  heavenly  ray, 
We've  come  unto  the  perfect  day, 
And  darkness  left  behind; 

Now  on  the  sea  of  glass  we  stand, 
In  a  celestial  covenant  band, 
And  Grace  rewards  we  find. 

2  No  more  shall  mystery  now  control, 
Leadcaptive  on,  earth's  wayward  souls. 

In  self-deception's  chain; 
Speak  truth  in  love,  be  just  to  all, 
With  humble  heart  walk  on  this  ball, 
Then  with  our  God  we  reign. 

3  Sectarian  forms  and  customs  vain, 
Like  ghostly  shadows  long  in  train, 
Will  ne'er  redeem  the  land; 

It's  by  good  deeds  and  works  alone; 
The  people  of  the  saints  are  known, 
Without  profession's  waud. 


93 

i     Now  on  this  great  redemption  year, 
The  covenant  bow  of  heaven  is  here, 
All  written  in  our  heart; 
One  faith,  one  hope,  one  love  shall  stand, 
As  the  true  light  for  every  land, 
And  never  shall  depart. 

5  Now  let  the  works  of  men  be  try'd, 
By  fire  of  truth  which  shall  abide, 
From  God's  own  word  so  dear; 
This  revelation  day's  for  all, 
Great  Babylon  herself  shall  fall, 
And  light  divine  appear. 

6  In  everlasting  gospel  sound, 

We  hear  the  trump  of  God  profound, 
For  all,  the  tidings  roll; 
It  shakes  the  heaven,  earth  and  sea, 
Rends  the  dark  veil  of  mystery, 
And  all  things  shall  controll. 

7  Come,  lay  all  mortal  thoughts  aside, 
Vain  doctrine,  sect,  and  lust  of  pride, 
And  thus  prepare  the  way; 

From  zion's  hill  hear  wisdom  call, 
To  all  the  world  both  great  and  small, 
And  come  to  zion's  dav. 


94 

HYMN,  42, 

Light   for  the  Gentiles. 

Isa.  60;  1,22. 

1  Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints, 
Behold  your  light  is  come ; 

Lift  up  your  heads  and  now  behold,. 
The  new  Jerusalem. 
The  everlasting  covenant  bow, 
Six  thousand  years  has  run; 
The  elect  are  all  encircled  here, 
From  Enoch  down  to  John. 

2  Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints, 
Behold  the  mystery  done; 

The  books  unsealed  and  opened  stand, 

For  the  stone  kingdom  come; 

With  robes  and  crowns  on  zion's  hill, 

The  witnesses  appear; 

Come  all  the  world,  come  follow  them* 

This  great  redemption  year. 

S     Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints, 
Behold  God's  heavenly  train; 
From  the  four  winds  are  gathered  in, 
And  evermore  shall  reign: 


95 

While  all  in  life's  own  book  now  stands, 
Like  Daniel  on  our  day; 
Shall  shine  as  stars  in  gospel  heaven, 
While  nations  pass  away. 

4     Arise  ye  people    of  the  saints, 

Behold  what  faith  has  done; 
Kingdoms  and  worlds  subdued  and  formed, 

Still  shine  now  as  the  sun; 

By  old  Elijah's  wonderous  faith, 

And  Moses'  faith  still  higher; 

In  glory  speak  of  God's  own  word, 

Those  charriots  of  his  fire. 

5     Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints, 
Behold  that  host  of  flame; 
In  everlasting  gospel  sound, 
And  judgment  here  proclaim, 
As  prophets  spake  and  gave  the  law, 
Called  angels  of  the  Lord; 
Through  faith  are  all  translated  now, 
By  his  own  holy  word. 

6     Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints, 

Behold  the  clouds  of  heaven; 

All  scripture  doctrine's  raised  on  high, 

By  saints  and  prophets  given; 
F2 


96 

Like  shadows  from  the  earth  they  fled. 
Who  did  redemption  seek; 
To  all  the  world  who  ne'er  saw  them, 
Forever  live  and  speak. 

Arise  ye  people  of  the  saiuls. 

Behold  to  you  are  given, 

All  things  the  word  of  God  contains, 

For  anew  earth  and  heaven; 

Take  now  the  kingdom  over  all, 

Be  faithful  just,  and  true; 

Claim  every  promise  of  your  Lord, 

And  a  new  name's  for  you. 


HYMN  43. 

Fall  of  Mystery  Babylon. 

Rev.  18;  2,8. 

The  angel  from  heaven, 
Proclaims  now  the  call, 
Great  Babylon's  fallen; 
Come  out  one  and  all, 
Forsiike  all  her  sins, 
And  now  fly  heaven's  ire, 
For  the  truth  of  God's  come. 
And  shall  burn  her  with  fire. 


97 

Full  of  mystery  and  darkness, 
Great  Babylon  rose; 
She  is  Sodom  and  Egypt, 
The  witness'  foes; 
As  the  Tyras  of  nations, 
Behold  she  has  stood; 
In  trade  with  men's  souls, 
As  with  innocent  blood. 

In  her  mystical  cities, 
Her  idols  of  fame, 
Her  angels  and  spirits, 
And  mysteries  she'll  name; 
Full  of  slavery  and  war, 
Of  oppression  and  pride, 
God's  truth  and  his  christ; 
By  her  works  has  denied. 

Her  wine  from  her  cup, 
Lo,  her  merchants  have  given 
She  calls  it  God's  truth, 
And  the  gospel  from  heaven; 
She  is  drunken,  deceived, 
And  all  covered  with  blood; 
The  world  she's  deceived, 
And  made  vain  the  good  word. 
F3 


98 

She  has  reigned  o'er  the  world, 

With  a  mighty  eontroll; 

The  dark  page  of  time, 

Has  long  sought  to  unroll. 

God's  truth  falsified, 

Has  now  reach'd  up  to  heaven; 

Like  babel  of  old, 

To  destruction  is  given. 

Come  out,  oh!  my  people, 
Put  away  your  false  fears; 
Hear  the  voice  now  from  heaven, 
It's  the  end  of  her  years; 
Raise  your  voice  she  is  fallen, 
Lift  your  banners  on  hi<rh; 
Great  voices  in  heaven, 
Now  proclaim  victory. 

Her  plagues  are  now  coming, 
Her  merchants  shall  mourn; 
All  her  merchandise  fail, 
And  with  fire  shall  be  burned; 
Stand  not  afar  off, 
While  her  torments  you  hear; 
But  forsake  all  her  sins, 
And  we've  nothing  to  fear.

HYMN.  44. 
New  People. 
Psa.  102;  18. 
The  Lord's  day  is  coming, 
Its  dawning  in  sight; 
With  reason,  with  justice, 
And  scriptures  in  light; 
True  wisdom  is  coming, 
On  her  own  gospel  day: 
Where  old  forms  and  system's, 
Like  chaff  pass  away, 

There's  a  people  a  coming, 
To  supplant  former  times; 
In  doctrine  and  practice, 
With  sanctified  mind's 
They  are  coming  triumphant, 
As  a  new  earth  begun; 
For  the  old  world  is  finished, 
As  the  Jew's  once  was  done. 

The  people  are  coming, 
In  a  kingdom  to  stand; 
It's  without  end  of  days, 
And  for  every  land; 

F3 


100 

As  the  light  of  the  world, 
The  dominion  is  given; 
Over  all  shall  they  rule, 
In  a  new  gospel  heaven. 

Salvation  and  strength, 
Shall  revoke  the  dark  power, 
Bring  in  truth  and  peace, 
And  the  true  jugment  hour; 
Come  all  ye  saint's  people, 
All  my  bretheren  come  in; 
Do  right  is  our  watchword, 
And  live  without  sin. 


HYMN.  45. 
The  Great  Image. 
Of  all  the  dreams  or  visions  found, 
Throughout  the  volume  of  the  hook; 
There's  none  more  full  of  meaning  found, 
Than  the  great  Image  to  he  broke. 
Its  brightness  and  its  form  a3  seen, 
Was  said  to  be  most  terrible, 
By  Daniel  who  explained  the  dream — 
In  all  its  parts  infallible. 
Its  head  was  of  the  finest  gold, 
Silver  its  arms  and  breast  of  fame, • 
We're  of  its  brazen  belly  told, 
Iff  thigh*,  'tis  said,  were  of  the  same. 


101 

A  composition  made  ita^feet 

And  toes,  alas,  how  strangely  good, — 

For  clay  and  iron  in  tbem  meet, 

While  thus  in  vision  form  he  stoo:l. 

In  modern  times,  and  days  of  old, 

Men  have  on  this  great  Image  spoke, 

Yet  vain's  their  comments  to  unfold. 

And  all  their  diserlations  wrote. 

Seal  up  the  hook  till  Latter  Days, 

It  in  the  End  shall  surely  speak, 

In  holy  Daniel's  vision  says, 

No  man  its  seals,  till  then  can  break; 

No  more  has  works  of  men  explained, 

God's  truth  in  this  great  Image  seen, 

Than  that  once  set  on  Dura's  plain, 

Does  Nile's  colossial  statue  mean. 

Hut  lo  the  Latter  Days  roll  on, — 

The  fountains  of  the  deep  are  broke  : 

lie  silent  all  ye  sons  of  men, 

For  lo  the  vision  now  hath  spoke; — 

The  stone  that  doth  the  Image  smite. 

Is  from  the  mountain  without  hand; 

God  is  that  mount  of  fire  and  light,* 

Whose  power  and  truth  none  can  withsland. 

The  doctrine  then  the  Stone  reveals t 

We  louden  metre  now  will  sound, 

That  freed  from  Mystery's  darkest  seals, 

We'll  sing  and  shout  the  Image  down. 

Know  then  in  order  there  has  reigned. 


102 

Five  Kingdoms  only  on  the  earth. 
That  in  this  Image  were  contained — 
And  here  we  know  their  imperial  birth. 
A  Caldean'empire  reigned  of  old, 
It  did  the  earth  the  world  comprise, 
This  was  the  first— that  head  of  gold ; 
And  then  the  Meeds  and  Persians  rise, — 
These  were  the  arms  the  vision  told, 
In  the  great  Cyrus  they  were  joined; 
This  was  the  kingdom  next  of  gold, 
Scripture  and  history's  thus  combined. 
The  kingdom  of  the  Greeks  then  came, 
And  reigned  o'er  all  the  earth  before, 
Great  Alexander  known  by  name, 
Was  first  which  made  that  brazen  power. 
As  Iron  then  the  Rotnati's  rose, 
All  prior  Powers  they  then  o'er  turned; 
Throughout  the  world  their  power  disclosed 
And  long  for  earthly  gloryfburned. 
All  history,  truth  and  reason  join, 
To  loud  proclaim  the  Roman  power; 
The  fourth  the  Image  did  divine, 
Of  kingdoms^to  this  present  hour, 
There  yet  remains  one  kingdom jn ore 
In  the  great  Image,  that  we  mean, 
His  feet  and^toes  we  must  explain, 
Then  all  shall^see  as  then  was  seen. 
In  volumed  works  of  men  you'll  find,  ' 
The  foretold  smiting  they  would  shun, 


103 

Through  pride  and  darkness,  death  of  mind, 

Oft  wo  whole  kingdoms,  they  make  one. 

The  feet,  and  toes,  and  legs,  they  say, 

Means  kingly — Roman — vassal  powers; 

The  Jews  Masias  in  his  day, 

All  but  themselves,  they  say  devours. 

But  sure  their  day  is  turned  to  night, 

While  Scripture  truth  we  will  unfold; 

For  darkness  long  man's  put  for  light, 

God's  truth  alone  they  have  not  told. 

Distinct  from  all  the  Image  parts, 

The  feet  and  toes  made  one  whole  power, 

And  long  they've  reigned  with  all  their  hearts; 

Until  this  day's  predicted  hour. 

What  power,  what  kingdom  or  what  name, 

Has  fell'd  the  Roman  power  indeed  ? 

A  power  called  Christian  sure  has  come, 

And  o'er  the  world  has  took  the  lead! 

When  Constantiue  the  great  was  heard, 

Transformed  was  earth  as  by  a  nod, 

Christian  the  Roman  Empire  turned, 

And  worshipped  man,  and  called  bim  Gud. 

Under  the  Christian  name  alone, 

From  that  day  to  the  present  time, 

The  Image's  feet  and  toes  have  reigned, 

Thus  plain  the  truth  of  God  shall  shine. 

As  the  fourth  kingdom  of  the  Beasts, 

Behold  it  now,  divided  stand  ! 

As  Catholic,  and  Protestant, 


104 

It's  plain  to  all,  in  every  land, 

Within  this  kingdom  have  they  joined 

The  soft  clay  powers,  with  iron  ore, 

Religion  which  m;ikes  as  clay  the  mind, 

With  warlike  iron's  thundering  power. 

The  civil  powers  the  iron  mean, 

The  powers  religious  are  the  clay; 

O'er  all  the  Christian   world  they've  reigned. 

Together  firm  they  cannot  be. 

Protestant  Eclesiastical  powers, 

CalPd  Christian  at  the  present  day, 

These  are  the  Image  toes  resound; 

And  lo!  they  all  shall  pass  away. 

Take  this  as  the  fulfilment  of  Rev.  8;8« 

*  Isaiah  25;  6.  7.    Eze.  28;  16.     Heb.  12;  29;

13  The  everlasting  gospel. 

14  Behold,  ye  sons  of  men,  behold. 

15  The  virgin  bride  of  heaven  appears. 

16  From  Paron's  brazen  mountains. 

17  Man's  wisdom,  like  the  shaken  reed. 

18  While  numbers  as  the  sand  appears. 

19  In  Eden,  Paradise,  or  heaven. 

20  Throughout  the  holy  volume. 

21  What  e'er  the  universe  contains. 

22  This  is  the  day  so  long  foretold. 

23  In'ancient  and  in  modern  days. 

24  Come,  eat  ye  now  the  tree  of  life. 

25  A\  hat  is  that  veil  of  darkness. 

26  What'shall  be  done  to  overcome. 

27  Was  heavenly  wisdom  mine  to  scan 

28  Hail  ye  spirits  clothed  with  organs 

29  The  city  of  our  God. 

30  Ye  cloudy  thousands  rise. 

31  We  look  in  vain  upon  the  world 


106 

32  Now  to  the  people  of  the  saints 

33  Come,  behold  all  ye  people. 

34  What  is  that  beloved  city. 

35  I've  heard  of  a  trumpet. 

36  Awake  ye  slumbering  christians 

37  The  mystery  of  times. 

38  Why  should  the  priests. 

39  My  soul  in  visions,  on  our  day. 

40  There's  crowns  and  bright  laurels. 

41  All  hail  the  light,  the  heavenly  ray. 

42  Arise  ye  people  of  the  saints. 

43  The  angel  from  heaven. 

44  The  Lord's  day  is  coming. 

45  Of  all  dreams  or  visions  found.
